Irony and Symbolism

Learning Goal: Analyze the impact of word choices on meaning and tone (specifically, look for types of irony: verbal and dramatic)

 

Today, we are going to review three types of irony and symbolism and pick out examples from "The Cask of Amontillado".

In groups you'll make a list of ironies and symbols, then choose one to act out for the class.  We will put these list on poster boards (for study guides) and then create placards for the definitions using a example from the story.

HW; Review "The Cask of Amontillado" for a possible quiz.
